Listing service registrations through a mobile number

ABSTRACT

An approach is provided in which an information handling system identifies registration-based messages sent from services over a computer network to a mobile device. The registration-based messages correspond to registering a first mobile number assigned to the mobile device to the plurality of services. The information handling system then combines registration information extracted from each of the registration-based messages into a set of registration results. Next, the information handling system identifies a set of transaction results corresponding to transactions between the first mobile number and at least one of the services, and generates an analytics report based on performing statistical analysis on the set of transaction results and the set of registration results. In turn, the information handling system provides the set of registration results and the analytics report to a user assigned to the mobile number.

BACKGROUND

Mobile applications typically have a compulsory/optional step for usersto register that involves entering email addresses and mobile numbers.For some applications, registration is an obvious requirement foraccessing certain functionality. For example, banking applications maybe able to locate the nearest ATM without registration, but to displayaccount information, users must be registered. While applicationdevelopers wish to keep the registration process simple, someapplications may make customers uncomfortable with a process that is tooshort because the process does not seem secure. As such, applicationdevelopers attempt to provide an easy registration process while alsoensuring users that the registration process is secure.

Over time, mobile device users may download and register with manyapplications. Typically, a user's many applications are tied to theuser's mobile device/phone number. The user, however, may be required tochange mobile numbers due to geographical location changes or forpersonal reasons. When a user changes his/her number, the user usuallyprefers to update the new number with the individual services orinitiate a request to respective authorities. Unfortunately, the usermay find it difficult to recall which services he/she needs to updatebefore deactivating the user's old mobile number.

FIG. 1 illustrates information handling system 100, which is asimplified example of a computer system capable of performing thecomputing operations described herein. Information handling system 100includes one or more processors 110 coupled to processor interface bus112. Processor interface bus 112 connects processors 110 to Northbridge115, which is also known as the Memory Controller Hub (MCH). Northbridge115 connects to system memory 120 and provides a means for processor(s)110 to access the system memory. Graphics controller 125 also connectsto Northbridge 115. In one embodiment, Peripheral Component Interconnect(PCI) Express bus 118 connects Northbridge 115 to graphics controller125. Graphics controller 125 connects to display device 130, such as acomputer monitor.

Northbridge 115 and Southbridge 135 connect to each other using bus 119.In one embodiment, the bus is a Direct Media Interface (DMI) bus thattransfers data at high speeds in each direction between Northbridge 115and Southbridge 135. In another embodiment, a PCI bus connects theNorthbridge and the Southbridge. Southbridge 135, also known as theInput/Output (I/O) Controller Hub (ICH) is a chip that generallyimplements capabilities that operate at slower speeds than thecapabilities provided by the Northbridge. Southbridge 135 typicallyprovides various busses used to connect various components. These bussesinclude, for example, PCI and PCI Express busses, an ISA bus, a SystemManagement Bus (SMBus or SMB), and/or a Low Pin Count (LPC) bus. The LPCbus often connects low-bandwidth devices, such as boot ROM 196 and“legacy” I/O devices (using a “super I/O” chip). The “legacy” I/Odevices (198) can include, for example, serial and parallel ports,keyboard, mouse, and/or a floppy disk controller. Other components oftenincluded in Southbridge 135 include a Direct Memory Access (DMA)controller, a Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC), and a storagedevice controller, which connects Southbridge 135 to nonvolatile storagedevice 185, such as a hard disk drive, using bus 184.

ExpressCard 155 is a slot that connects hot-pluggable devices to theinformation handling system. ExpressCard 155 supports both PCI Expressand Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectivity as it connects toSouthbridge 135 using both the USB and the PCI Express bus. Southbridge135 includes USB Controller 140 that provides USB connectivity todevices that connect to the USB. These devices include webcam (camera)150, infrared (IR) receiver 148, keyboard and trackpad 144, andBluetooth device 146, which provides for wireless personal area networks(PANs). USB Controller 140 also provides USB connectivity to othermiscellaneous USB connected devices 142, such as a mouse, removablenonvolatile storage device 145, modems, network cards, IntegratedServices Digital Network (ISDN) connectors, fax, printers, USB hubs, andmany other types of USB connected devices. While removable nonvolatilestorage device 145 is shown as a USB-connected device, removablenonvolatile storage device 145 could be connected using a differentinterface, such as a Firewire interface, etcetera.

Wireless Local Area Network (LAN) device 175 connects to Southbridge 135via the PCI or PCI Express bus 172. LAN device 175 typically implementsone of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)802.11 standards of over-the-air modulation techniques that all use thesame protocol to wireless communicate between information handlingsystem 100 and another computer system or device. Optical storage device190 connects to Southbridge 135 using Serial Analog Telephone Adapter(ATA) (SATA) bus 188. Serial ATA adapters and devices communicate over ahigh-speed serial link. The Serial ATA bus also connects Southbridge 135to other forms of storage devices, such as hard disk drives. Audiocircuitry 160, such as a sound card, connects to Southbridge 135 via bus158. Audio circuitry 160 also provides functionality such as audioline-in and optical digital audio in port 162, optical digital outputand headphone jack 164, internal speakers 166, and internal microphone168. Ethernet controller 170 connects to Southbridge 135 using a bus,such as the PCI or PCI Express bus. Ethernet controller 170 connectsinformation handling system 100 to a computer network, such as a LocalArea Network (LAN), the Internet, and other public and private computernetworks.

While FIG. 1 shows one information handling system, an informationhandling system may take many forms. For example, an informationhandling system may take the form of a desktop, server, portable,laptop, notebook, or other form factor computer or data processingsystem. In addition, an information handling system may take other formfactors such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), a gaming device,Automated Teller Machine (ATM), a portable telephone device, acommunication device or other devices that include a processor andmemory.

FIG. 2 provides an extension of the information handling systemenvironment shown in FIG. 1 to illustrate that the methods describedherein can be performed on a wide variety of information handlingsystems that operate in a networked environment. Types of informationhandling systems range from small handheld devices, such as handheldcomputer/mobile telephone 210 to large mainframe systems, such asmainframe computer 270. Examples of handheld computer 210 includepersonal digital assistants (PDAs), personal entertainment devices, suchas Moving Picture Experts Group Layer-3 Audio (MP3) players, portabletelevisions, and compact disc players. Other examples of informationhandling systems include pen, or tablet, computer 220, laptop, ornotebook, computer 230, workstation 240, personal computer system 250,and server 260. Other types of information handling systems that are notindividually shown in FIG. 2 are represented by information handlingsystem 280. As shown, the various information handling systems can benetworked together using computer network 200. Types of computer networkthat can be used to interconnect the various information handlingsystems include Local Area Networks (LANs), Wireless Local Area Networks(WLANs), the Internet, the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN),other wireless networks, and any other network topology that can be usedto interconnect the information handling systems. Many of theinformation handling systems include nonvolatile data stores, such ashard drives and/or nonvolatile memory. Some of the information handlingsystems shown in FIG. 2 depicts separate nonvolatile data stores (server260 utilizes nonvolatile data store 265, mainframe computer 270 utilizesnonvolatile data store 275, and information handling system 280 utilizesnonvolatile data store 285). The nonvolatile data store can be acomponent that is external to the various information handling systemsor can be internal to one of the information handling systems. Inaddition, removable nonvolatile storage device 145 can be shared amongtwo or more information handling systems using various techniques, suchas connecting the removable nonvolatile storage device 145 to a USB portor other connector of the information handling systems.

FIGS. 3 through 10 disclose an approach that can be implemented on aninformation handling system. At any point in time, mobile users are ableto identify which applications/services they are registered with theirown mobile number. An automated cognitive approach is disclosed hereinthat creates a chronological list and communication frequency of theservices registered with a particular mobile number to the authorizeduser registered with that mobile number. The cognitive solution includesthe capability of extracting concepts and information out of incomingtext messages and presenting the output in a user friendly summarizednature.

FIG. 3 is an exemplary diagram depicting a listing service registrationmanager that tracks service registrations on a per mobile number basis.Mobile device 300 includes application A 305 and application B 310. Theapplications register with their corresponding service A 340 and serviceB 345 by sending registration request A 315 and registration request B320 over network 325, which is current service provider 327's network.Typically, each successful service/application registration with amobile number is followed by at least one message from theservice/application to the requesting mobile number. As such, service A340 sends confirmation A 330 and service B 345 sends confirmation B 335over current service provider 325's network.

Current service provider 327 captures incoming messages 330 and 335 andstores the incoming messages in message store 350. In addition, currentservice provider 327 captures each incoming message targeted to mobiledevice 300. FIG. 3 shows that service A 340 sent transaction A 332 tomobile device 300, indicating that the user performed a transactionusing application A 305.

When requested, listing service registration manager 355 collects eachincoming message sent to mobile number from across service providers andmobile device storages. This includes collecting messages from mobiledevice 300's previous service providers 360 as well as collectingmessages from mobile device 300's internal storage.

Listing service registration manager 355 filters the collected messagesusing positive and negative keywords stored in configuration store 370,and may also use a tone recognition model to determine sentence contextof the collected messages (see FIGS. 4-7 and corresponding text forfurther details). In turn, listing service registration manager 355identifies registration-based messages, extracts registrationinformation from the registration-based messages, and combines theextracted registration information into a set of registration results,which may also include a set of transaction results(registration/transaction results 380). In one embodiment,registration-based messages include registration confirmation onlyinformation. In another embodiment, registration-based messages may alsoinclude transaction messages having transaction information betweenmobile device 300 and application services. Listing service registrationmanager 355 also analyzes the filtered messages and generates analytics385, which may include usage patterns, statistical summaries, and/or amobile number migration interface that allows a user to migrate themobile device's registrations to a different mobile number (see FIG. 9and corresponding text for further details).

When the user of mobile device 300 wishes to migrate services to adifferent mobile number or a different device, the user uses themigration interface to send migration request 390 to listing serviceregistration manager 355, indicating which applications should bemigrated. Listing service registration manager 355, in turn, migratesthe applications to the user's different phone number and providesmigration results 395 accordingly (see FIG. 10 and corresponding textfor further details).

FIG. 4 is an exemplary flowchart showing steps taken to configure akeyword dictionary and train a tone recognition model for use by thelisting service registration manager. FIG. 4 processing commences at 400whereupon, at step 420, the process creates a keyword dictionary ofpositive keywords to identify valid registration messages andtransaction messages, such as “registration”, “user ID”, “signup”,“OTP,” “transaction,” “receipt,” etc. Listing service registrationmanager 355 uses the positive keywords to identify those messages thatcorrespond to service registrations and transactions. The process storesthe positive keyword dictionary in configuration store 370.

At step 440, the process creates a keyword dictionary of negativekeywords to identify promotional messages and advertising messages, suchas “promotion”, “offer”, “incredible”, “earn”, etc. Listing serviceregistration manager 355 uses the negative keywords to filter out thepromotional messages and advertising messages. The process stores thenegative keyword dictionary in configuration store 370.

At step 460, the process creates an exhaustive acronym, abbreviation,and initialism listing that listing service registration manager 355uses to evaluate the context of the collected messages. The processstores the listing in configuration store 370.

At step 480, in one embodiment, the process trains a tone recognitionmodel (sentence flow model) to determine whether messages are written inan “official” or “informative” tone, to filter messages having a“personal” or “promotional” tone, and to categorize messages among firstregistration and regular transactional categories. FIG. 4 processingthereafter ends at 495.

FIG. 5 is an exemplary flowchart showing steps taken to extract conceptsand information out of text messages and present the results to a userin a user friendly format. FIG. 5 processing commences at 500 whereupon,at step 510, the process receives a request from a user to collectapplication/service information. At step 520, the process collectsmessages from the user's mobile device, the user's current serviceprovider, and the user's previous service providers, which were sent tothe user's mobile number (see FIG. 6 and corresponding text for furtherdetails).

At step 525, the process identifies service-initiated messages, from thecollected messages, which are messages having service registrationterms, information verification terms, and transaction terms based onthe positive keyword dictionaries and/or tone identification from thetone recognition model. At step 530, the process filters and removespromotional or advertising messages based on the negative keyworddictionary and/or tone recognition model that do not include servicemembership information.

At step 540, the process extracts organization names from the messagesusing entity resolution and acronym expansion techniques based on theacronym, abbreviation, and initialism listing. At step 550, the processderives a list of service registrations from the filtered messages ofthe mobile number and other information such as first registration datesand frequency of usage. At step 560, the process collects transactioninformation from messages on a per application/services basis and, atstep 570, the process presents a usage pattern to the user and detailsof the services based upon the messages (see FIG. 7 and correspondingtext for further details). At step 580, the process presentsconsolidated statistical summary from the services to the user. At step590, the process presents user interface for mobile number migration tothe user (see FIGS. 8, 9, and corresponding text for further details).FIG. 5 processing thereafter ends at 595.

FIG. 6 is an exemplary diagram depicting a list of messages sent to auser's mobile number and collected by listing service registrationmanager 355. Collected messages 600 include messages 610 through 690,some of which may have been collect from current service provider 327,some of which may have been collected from previous service providers360, and some of which may have been collected from mobile device 300'sinternal memory.

Listing service registration manager 355 analyzes collected messages 600and filters them according to their content. Message 610 includes theterm “register,” which indicates that the message corresponds to aservice registration. As such, listing service registration manager 355extracts the date and application name from message 610. Message 620includes the term “registered,” which also indicates that the messagecorresponds to a service registration. As such, listing serviceregistration manager 355 extracts the date and application name frommessage 620.

Message 630 includes the phrase “free gift,” which indicates that themessage corresponds to a promotion. As such, listing serviceregistration manager 355 filters out message 630 from further analysis.Message 640 includes the terms “purchasing” and “$125,” which indicatethat the message corresponds to a transaction. As such, listing serviceregistration manager 355 extracts the date, application name, andtransaction information from the message.

Message 650 includes the phrase “service request,” which indicates thatthe message corresponds to a service registration. As such, listingservice registration manager 355 extracts the application name from themessage. Message 660 includes the phrase “satisfaction score,” whichindicates that the message corresponds to a survey. As such, listingservice registration manager 355 filters out message 660 from furtheranalysis.

Message 670 includes the term “approved,” which indicates that themessage corresponds to a transaction. As such, listing serviceregistration manager 355 extracts the application name and transactioninformation from the message. Message 680 includes the term “payment,”which indicates that the message corresponds to a transaction. As such,listing service registration manager 355 extracts the application nameand transaction information from the message. And, message 690 includesthe term “order,” which indicates that the message corresponds to atransaction. As such, listing service registration manager 355 extractsthe application name and transaction information from the message.

Once listing service registration manager 355 analyzes collectedmessages 600, listing service registration manager 355 creates a userfriendly registration and transaction results (see FIG. 7 andcorresponding text for further details).

In one embodiment, listing service registration manager 355 or anotherentity pre-compiles a dictionary as discussed herein comprising positivekeywords and negative keywords. Messages are then considered for furtheranalysis that include terms matching one or more of the positivekeywords, and messages are filtered out that include terms matching oneor more of the negative keywords.

In another embodiment as discussed herein, listing service registrationmanager 355 may use a pre-trained English tone recognition model(sentence flow model). The model considers messages for further analysisthat have an “official” or “informative” tone and filters out messagesthat have “personal” or “promotional” tone. The model then categorizesthe messages among first registration and regular transactionalcategories.

FIG. 7 is an exemplary diagram depicting registration/transactionresults generated by listing service registration manager 355. Listingservice registration manager 355 evaluates collected messages asdiscussed herein and creates a set of registration results that, in oneembodiment, includes registration and transaction information organizedby application service in a chronological manner.

FIG. 8 is an exemplary diagram depicting analytics results generated bylisting service registration manager 355. Analytics 385 includesinformation organized on a per application basis. From an application'sregistration date onwards, analytics 385 may include a summary of thefrequency and total number of interactions per applications. If theinteractions are of financial nature, analytics 385 may include asummary of incoming and outgoing funds related to the service (in actualor virtual currency). Analytics 385 may also include information such asusage tendencies at a particular hour of the day, a particular season,specific days of month, year or week, specific day or time aroundexternal events, dependency on a personal event, etc.

FIG. 9 is an exemplary diagram depicting a migration user interface tomigrate application/service registration information to an alternativemobile number. Migration user interface 800 enables a user to easilyselect which applications/services to migrate to a new mobile number.The user enters the new mobile number in text box 810 and selects whichapplications to migrate to the new number via selection boxes 820. Theuser selects button 820 and listing service registration manager 355migrates the selected applications/services to the new mobile number. Inone embodiment, the selected applications/services are sent astandardized notification, thus easing the effort on part of the user.In this embodiment, some services may allow the mobile numbermodification using standard message based identity verification, whereasother services may require more detailed verification. Accordingly, theresponses from the services may be consolidated and presented to theuser in two categories, such as “migration complete” and “further actionnecessary”.

FIG. 10 is an exemplary diagram depicting migration results generated bylisting service registration manager 355. Listing service registrationmanager 355 generates migration results 395 and provides them to a userto inform the user of the migration process. In one embodiment, listingservice registration manager 355 provides an open window to the user sothe user can view the progress of the migration. In another embodiment,listing service registration manager 355 provides migration results 395to the user after listing service registration manager 355 has migrated(or attempted to migrate) each of the selected applications/services tomigrate.
